Benefits of technology

[0007]An objective of the present invention is to provide a wearable horse cooling device to lower the temperature of and apply cold compresses to a horse.
[0021]The wearable horse cooling device has the advantages of being firmly mounted on the back of a horse without causing discomfort of the horse, and allowing the horse carrying the wearable horse cooling device to freely move. Accordingly, the wearable horse cooling device solves the inconvenience of conventional horse cooling device during operation and can be accommodated in a carry-on bag to facilitate the carrying need and storage.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional horse cooling devices tend to bulky and heavy, need to be placed beside horses, and are connected to the cooling water bags fastened on the bodies of horses through water pipes and air pipes.
Otherwise, wild horse movement can break off the water pipes and air pipes connected between a cooling unit and the water bag and even pull and damage the cooling unit and the water bag.
Moreover, due to prolonged confinement in a tiny space and limited movement, horses easily get irritable and fiercely kick and jump at the cost of horses' health and smoothness of cold compress process.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]With reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, a wearable horse cooling device in accordance with the present invention has at least one cold water circulating module 1 and a fixing module 2. In the present embodiment, the wearable horse cooling device has two cold water circulating modules 1. Each cold water circulating module 1 has a cooling unit 11, a wrap 12, a connection hose assembly 13 and a charging unit 14. The cooling unit 11 has an ice container 111, a water pump 112, a pneumatic pump 113, and an electronic controller 114. The wrap 12 has a water bag 121, an air bag 122 and a fastener 123. The water bag 121 and the air bag 122 are mounted in the wrap 12. The air bag 122 has an automatic air release valve 124. The automatic air release valve 124 is connected and communicates with the air bag 122 and serves to automatically release the air overcharged in the air bag 122 to prevent a wearing portion of the horse from being over-tightened or the air bag 122 from being blown up. The fa...

Abstract

A wearable horse cooling device has at least one cold water circulating module and a fixing module. Each one of the at least one cold water circulating module has a cooling unit, a wrap and a connection hose assembly. The wrap has a water bag and an air bag for generating a holding force. The connection hose assembly is connected between and communicates with each cooing unit and the water bag of the wrap. The fixing module is securely connected with each one of the at least one cold water circulating module and tied to the body of a horse to bind the cold water circulating unit on the body of the horse so that the cold water circulating unit can be firmly mounted and worn on the body of the horse without causing discomfort of the horse.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a horse cooling device, and more particularly to a wearable horse cooling device to lower the temperature of and apply cold compresses to a horse.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Horse cooling devices are more commonplace in western world and are available to lower the temperature of and applying cold compresses to horses, especially useful in applying cold compresses as horses usually exercise strenuously and easily get hurt.[0005]The principle of a horse cooling device is that low temperature cold water in a container is pumped into a water inlet of a water bag by a water pump and is circulated back to the container through a water outlet of the water bag. Thus, outside surfaces of the water bag can be kept at low temperature. The water bag is attached to a portion of the body of a horse requiring a temperature drop or a cold compress and is strapped and fastened on the bod...
